Cctv for farm yard with viewing from farmhouse

[jon9000]

Ideally with a record function...... do currently have WiFi across the yard.

I just buy this sort of thing , cheap as chips put SD card in and they do the job

I'd like live viewing at least just so I can find my wife a d kids

I've this for our yard. Been very pleased with it. Away from any power source so solar works well. Had it up since march. Pictures were better than I expected Can record if needed but we have it as an alert system for anyone in the yard (or to see the old man wandering about )
We lost a rum good guard dog before Christmas so this, for now, is an replacement.

They all do live viewing.

And I don't recon you have to pay over the odds for them , some Dear ones seem to have the same spec as the cheaper ones but a diff badge

What you got to lose at £25 , put one up and see what you recon ....

Can you use this sort of thing from your phone? How is that possible? Does it require a sim card?

Simply an app.

Yes it's easy , even I can manage it , download the app and the picture appears on your phone and you swivel it round to wherever you want

Only need a SIM card if your away from a wireless connection.
Not all have sim capability so you have to tether them to a phone or sim modem.

App on phone

Even I was able to work it out

Can zoom in a fair bit but quality obviously deteriorates.

I'm fully aware it's not good enough to stand up in court etc, that's not why I have it.

We have an AP point mounted up right high outside the house, hardwired into the router so I've WiFi round the yard (and halfway down the field )

As long as the main router is working in the house then I can access the pictures and live footage wherever I like. When it senses movement, it records a 10sec segment and notifies me.

There are cheaper versions as mentioned above . Not much to lose for 25 quid. I mainly went for this one because it had reasonable reviews and the app was rated as being user friendly. Also didn't have to pay a subscription (though that is an option for upgraded services)
